[can-talk] mystery object

Sorry Philipa I can't help directly but I would like to reiterate that for 
the more 'mundane' queries regarding egg incubators and doilies(!), I 
personally find can-talk an invaluable resource for communicating with 
colleagues regarding comparative assessments of Australia's collections.

I'm sorry to return to the mundane (especially as it is my first post to 
can-talk) but the recent revival in activity has reminded me what a great 
resource it is for museums.
My mystery object is about 50cm across and one suggestion is that it was an 
egg incubator. We have no idea of its history but have a dearth of 
information and objects pertaining to the long history of poultry farming in 
Australia so cannot be sure. Equipment maintenance staff at a major hospital 
tell me they don't believe it is medical in origin.

Can anyone shed any light on this object?

Thank you
